   GREAT SHOE
   Fit of shoe seemed true to size. Shoe is holding up great to the abuse a 4 yr old boy puts them through on a day to day basis. Grip of sole is phenomenal on all surfaces. Supportive but flexible too. Kid says they are really comfortable and loves them! This is the only brand of sneaker I’ve worn for last 10+ years. For the small price difference of a generic to these I’d advise spending the extra $. Good quality footwear is extremely important for a growing child as well as any aged person and a very overlooked thing. Do research on this and you would be surprised on what you find. Would 100% recommend these shoes!

   Good looking and functional
   Perfect running shoes for my 7yr old. My son runs 5k races with me. He is not the fastest and didn’t want to listen when I told him running shoes help alot. I got him this pair and he loves them. They made a huge difference. His feet didn’t hurt, perfect support, and he improved his time by 3 minutes! They look cool and they fir perfectly. The size chart is 100% accurate. Would definitely recommend. Good value.

   Comfortable, Durable, Fairly Priced
   This is the fourth pair of Asics PRE Venture shoes I purchased for my children and I will keep buying more! First of all, they run reliably true to size and I appreciate that they offer half sizes if needed.My kids can run around at school all day or at the park without feeling fatigue. Last fall we spend an entire day walking around New York City and they never complained that their feet hurt.I also appreciate the rubber of the sole wraps over the toe; my kids like to drag the front of their feet when they are on the swings or use their toes to slow down when on their bikes which usually leads to little toes poking out the front of their shoes in no time flat. I’ve yet to see that happen with any of the pairs I’ve purchased.Lastly, I really like the assortment of color combinations available to please even the pickiest of kids. The velcro fastener also makes it super easy for my kids to get on and off themselves.Overall, these are a fantastic value, especially since they won’t wear out as quickly as other department store brands and my kids actually like wearing them!

   Good quality but not for wide feet
   These sneakers look good and you can tell they’re of good quality. There was no visible glue anywhere, gaps, or loose threads anywhere. The only thing wrong with them for my child was that the wide version was not wide enough. In fact, they were also smaller in length than the same size shoe from New Balance. I compared the sole of this shoe with a New Balance one size smaller and they were the same length. If your child has wide feet you’re better off with New Balance sneakers. If your child has normal width feet these are a great option!

   Workhorse of a shoe!
   We’ve been through so many shoes, at least a new shoe every 6 weeks, unfortunately my daughter is very rough with her shoes. But I think we found our brand. These shoes are sturdy and clean up easily, plus I know that they’ll support her growing feet. The inside of the shoe also has a cartoon of a tiger, which helps kids that keep mixing the left and right shoes up by connecting the pictures.

   Returning supporter – highly recommend
   We buy these ASICS every year for the kids. It seems to be one of the only shoes that still provide rubber soles instead of foam soles. We started purchasing this brand for both my daughter and son at age 4. They are now 5 and 7. We keep coming back for the size and fit reliability. The structure and strength of the rubber sole that holds up to kid destructive ways. I highly recommend and continue to support ASICS. Don’t change!!!

   Love these
   Perfect for my daughter. We hike a lot and these have the best grip and support! Super light and the color is nice I would have rather had shoe laces but I guess we live in a world we’re kids don’t tie shoes anymore.

   After less than 3 weeks the thread is already coming off in front and the shoes looking worn. I’m really disappointed. They are not durable at all. My son has had less expensive shoes hold up better so this is really surprising. Not worth it at all.

    The shoe is very nice, however the Velcro strap once placed on our son’s foot always pops off. The strap should be longer.
